After a brief inspection of the area from the aerial walkway, the Cubs set about building Dens to protect them from the elements (NOT elephants!!!). Sadly, the freak weather conditions tested their structures and some were found to be less weather-proof than others!

Well, we got showered on and the ball nearly hit us a couple of times, but the Saints didn’t let us down, beating Worcester 42-14 and securing a place in the play-offs in the process. A convincing victory, even if that did mean that most of the action was at the opposite end of the pitch! A good time was had by all.
